We’re expanding our coverage of things to do in Tacoma, and we need some help!
We’re looking for a smart, energetic, hardworking, detail-oriented self-starter who’s in the know about the latest arts and entertainment happenings in Tacoma, from high-minded arts and literature to local music to the most popular food truck festivals. If you’re the first to visit the buzziest new restaurants in town, you go out to concerts and art shows in your free time, and/or you’re the person your friends look to when planning a night out, this could be the position for you.
Our ideal candidate is a strong writer with a sense of humor who can use their voice to motivate readers to go out and experience Tacoma, but who’s also comfortable with data entry and working behind the scenes. We’re also looking for a hard-working, detail-oriented person who is dedicated to our mission of covering every last pop-up movie night and open mic in Tacoma. Experience in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment where accuracy is key is a plus.
